Stay away from this school! We have had multiple employees go through them to get their DZ and they’ve shunned both of them and some from other places. Our one employee applied for the fast track DZ 4 months ago and still hasn’t had a minute of in truck training. He had a great job opportunity if he had passed his DZ but now may lose it because of how long it’s taken. And their only response is “well if you take the test on your own there’s no refunds”. Do yourself a favour and find a different school

I had an unusual request to find an az driver with a truck that could assist my company with moving a 53' trailer. Not really a question for a driving school, but I didn't know where to look. I ended up on a call with Kris and she went wayyyyy above and beyond and put me in contact with the right company. And then she even thought of how she could enhance the student experience by starting to offer this type of service for students.
If Kris is any indication how this school operates then I would highly recommend.
Thanks Kris you really helped me today!!

I used crossroads to get my dz license and the instructors are very helpful and friendly. They will answer all your questions in great detail and ensure you understand everything. I will recommend this school to anyone looking to upgrade your license with well trained, friendly and helpful instructors.

I cant say enough about the amazing experience I had at Crossroads.
I took the fast tract DZ course as a requirement for Oro Fire.
I'd like to thank my instructors, Jason. Bea and John.

The course was informative, Thorough and most importantly A LOT OF FUN
If you have prior knowledge, or are just starting out, the instructors are patient, friendly and open to answering any questions you may have. They want you to be successful !
The vehicles are in good working condition, and easy to learn on.
Can't recommend these guys enough. Salt of the earth.
I had a great time .
Ill most likely be back to do my A !!
Keep it up y'all, I had a great time!
And like Davey Dudley said "ill let my buddy back er into the dock"

Meant to post this a while back but I've been busy out on the road since passing my test. Highly recommend Crossroads as they will prepare you to pass a very difficult test at the MTO. The service was excellent all around! Kris in the Admin Dept. was extremely helpful with my crazy schedule (especially during the difficult lockdowns last summer), the in-class training with Clay and Chris covered the academics and most importantly the in-cab trainers were patient and experienced. Keep up the great work!
After graduation I was able to secure employment with Kelsey Trail Trucking as a regional driver, learned a ton with them. I have now moved on to a job that I am able to be home every night with Warren Gibson Transport. I'm continuing to learn new things everyday and build up my experience. Couldn't have done it without CROSSROADS!!!!

The staff at Crossroads Are very helpful and knowledgable. I had to take my dz drivers test and my instructor Dwayne Brandon made sure that I knew every inch of the truck. I couldn't believe how quick I learned every inch after only a couple hours. His teaching method was incredible and I would highly recommend everyone to request him. I passed my test with flying colours.

Dez,Christine, Frank ect.. The instructors know there stuff. The only thing that made it worth it. I learned from the best.. For the money you would think they would help you find a job. Took my money, I passed my DRIVING test and never herd from them until one month later. I found my own job thanks... Like others say." Way over priced for what they do in there office." I guess i payed for the experienced Instructors.
By the way. Dez was especially dedicated to the DRIVING profession. Ask for him.. He'll be straight with you.....

Pay for the best, you get the best. To my mind, Crossroads is the best. 40 years driving with G then I got my DZ through Crossroads. First DZ job was at Miller for 1 month, now at Progressive Waste. Course pays for itself in a month and a half. I love my job, best investment I ever made for myself.

An outstanding place to train up for a new career! All of the staff are friendly, personable, very knowledgable. The classroom instruction is intense, but necessary in making sure you are a highly desirable job prospect right out of their door. The on-road instructors exhibited for me, the perfect mix of support for tasks well done, and identifying and riding me hard on points I needed to get before my Ministry testing date. And I had a call from a motor carrier to drive an evaluation for them less than 3 hours after I had graduated and had my license in-hand: another called for an interview while I was in that evaluation: and as I was leaving after a successful driving eval, Crossroads phoned with a 3rd job prospect that now wants to fast-track me into one of their live runs in the next day or two for evaluation.And all within 2 business days of graduating! Thanks Crossroads, for the new career!BTW, the correct address is 49 Truman Rd, Barrie. Call Diane if you want to fast-track into a new and highly sought-after career.
